[Elecraft] KPA500 Interface with Kenwood TS-590

[Doug Person]

I do run the K-Line as my main station.  I'm not sure how to observe the 
spiking you mentioned.  The firmware is at 1.06.  I haven't seen 
anything unusual.  I have been running it at 25 to 30 watts into my 
KPA500 with excellent results.  I'll see if I can research the spiking 
issue you mentioned.

tnx & 73, Doug -- K0DXV
